Franke Scrub: April 2014
http://frankescrub.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Apr 30, 2014. Lovely morning in the Scrub. We had a most enjoyable morning in the scrub removing cat's claw creeper and asparagus fern, which continue to appear despite ongoing attention. However the recent rain has also brought on nice fresh growth of our diverse native vegetation and it is a pleasure to spend time inside it. The next meeting will be on Wednesday 28th May. Turn up anytime between 8.30 and 10.30 and you will find us there. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Where is Franke Scrub? As a good remn...

Franke Scrub: July gathering at the scrub
http://frankescrub.blogspot.com/2015/07/july-gathering-at-scrub.html
Jul 24, 2015. July gathering at the scrub. Despite the lack of recent blog entries, we continue to meet on the last Wednesday of the month at Franke Scrub. To enjoy our patch of remnant vegetation and try to keep the weeds under control. Over the years, our regular monthly visits and some help from groups have kept this patch in remarkable condition, enabling us to enjoy the variety of plants without the asparagus vine and other weeds which spoil so much of what is left of our natural environment. Road C...

Franke Scrub: October 2014
http://frankescrub.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Oct 30, 2014. We had a good roll up for our October meeting and it was very pleasant working in the shade. It is nice to see the small seedlings which come up. We seem to be getting on top of the climbing asparagus ferns, apart from those at the eastern end on the road alignment. These need to be stopped before they produce seed to spread into the scrub. We also found some more cat's claw with quite a large bulb so we are keeping our eye out for more outbreaks. Oct 27, 2014. Spring time in our scrub.

Toowoomba Plants: February 2015
http://toowoombaplants2008.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2015. What’s Happening to my Native Bee Hive? We are very fond of our hive. It was given to us after its discovery in a felled tree, and we made this nice little position for it, facing north-east and sheltered from most of the heat of the summer sun. In winter, the different sun angle plus a bit pruning of the native jasmine ( Jasminum didymum subs. racemosum. Overhead makes sure it is sun-warmed. The bees are stingless native honeybees, Tetragonula carbonaria (Trigona carbonaria).

Toowoomba Plants: November 2014
http://toowoombaplants2008.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 21, 2014. What a wonderful butterfly season we are having this year. I suppose you have all noticed that this is a big year for caper whites (Belenois java teutonia)? This is the butterfly with the fairly plain wingtops, white with black edging,. And the beautifully marked underside which you only notice if you look a little more carefully, or see one at rest. The butterflies breed on our local native caper plants, Capparis arborea, C. mitchellii, C. lasiantha. Most of our local native c...
